Ustinov At 80

In the week of his 80th birthday, the much-loved, multi-talented Sir Peter Ustinov has a wonderfully civilised chat with comedian John Bird about his life and times.

Topics range from Sir Peter's childhood and family, to Hollywood in the Fifties and opera in Moscow, touching in between on God, Pol Pot, Nero and Andre Agassi.

Sir Peter's list of achievements in an illustrious and highly eventful life include acting in 70 films and 23 plays, writing 13 books and winning two Oscars, three Emmys and numerous humanitarian awards for his work with Unicef and Unesco.
